In this episode we go out early in the morning to catch some fish on the surf, we did better than expected. Rough waves and bad tide mad the day look like it was bad but you never argue with a full moon. First cast before the weight hit the bottom whiting was on! Then caught 2 other small ones and a 2 pounder! also managed to catch a small spotted seatrout, 2 hardhead catfish, and a nice 3 pound Black Drum!

http://www.reefari.com More great fishing video action targetting the deep reefs in the coral Sea off Mackay Queensland. 4 & 5 way hookups were common with big Quality reef fish coming onboard. This was day three of our recent mothershipping charter to the outer Great Barrier reef some 200 kilometres offshore. Reefari’s specialty is targeting these deep reefs and shoals out in the coral sea, and relatively unfished and the video action shows. Big fish, 4 & 5 way hookups, Spanish Mackerel, Sharks and heaps more. The following report is a good summary of what went on. Day 3 went proudly to the Queenslanders!!
Day three: Time for the Maroons to put some runs on the board, and they were still keen to fish the deep. With these wide deep marks, it pays to look after them and not too fish them too hard, They can be susceptible to overfishing. The Shipping Channel off Mackay, is now suffering from several years of great fishing and is well short of the glory years gone past. Mothershipping charters brings out the best of both worlds, All the comforts of a big mothership, and the speed and fishing versatility of a dayboat and dories. These marks are well protected due to the large distances, and only fished once a year by us anyhow. The trophy Red emperor are getting harder to find and makes these trips all the worthwhile. The day started slow and we had to work several new marks before we found one with the fishing dial turned up to full. They’re only small marks in the middle of nowhere, some as small as a car, or small house, and you’ve got to line your drift up perfectly , The results were Awesome with the Maroons coming back with some great fishing and four way & five way hook-ups common. With a mixed bag of Red emperor, Nannygai, 70cm Spangled emperor and large Gold Spot cod, and Coral Trout, Day three went to the Maroons, and saved face for the Queenslanders. Go Queensland!! It’s great to see all rods loaded up with quality fish, and grunts and groans all round. I won’t bore you with all the details.
The Blues fired straight back with an 80cm Red emperor to Mark, and followed by the other unwanted red of the Great Barrier Reef, some monster Chinamen fish, which arguably pull harder than their famous red brothers, looks the good until you get to the surface, and then disappointment for the worn out angler, and north queensland sympathy (i.e. laughter allround from fellow anglers). The fishing was a bit slower and we continued to put more fish onboard, it’s tuff when you get Blase’ about the quality of the fishing. We trolled another shoal without much luck and found a new ledge nearby, which was on fire, with more reds, Trout, Nannygai and Kaos, a couple of drifts and it was time to call it quits and head back to base, with all good things coming to an end, it was time to start heading for home. The only regret was not getting to sound out this new fishing spot as it also was loaded with Potential with a Capital P, but that’s what keeps you coming back for more. The fishing was truly phenomenal and I’ve seen some great reef fishing, the quality and variety was amazing, the Guests, Crew Awesome, and this type of adventure is priceless and just can’t wait to do it all again.
